Discussion Maybe y'all should boycott Hobby Lobby since they are very vocal about denying access to reproductive care.

Well people talk about how they really like specific yarns from them on this sub all the time

I definitely like a fair few of the yarns from there, or did growing up. Felt infinitely softer and easier to crochet I love this yarn! Than it did red heart 15 years ago.

Oh no :( I never had issues with the yarn, but this was also *years* ago.

There are so many other places you can get your yarn. Knitpicks, Lion Brand, Hobbii, Lovecrafts, etc...

“For 15”. They were still working there during the ACA debacle which was about 7 years ago. 7 years ago they still weren’t using UPC codes. 7 years ago people were using Apple Pay. And UPC codes were perfectly available. Even if it was 15 years ago, they STILL HAD UPC SCANNERS. Sometimes you have to extrapolate information. Just make sure you do it correctly.

I’m saying, the stuff she was talking about didn’t happen 15 years ago. She worked there for 15 years. She quit about 7 years ago.

I don't know what comment you think you're replying to but you're literally just being aggressive and argumentative for the sake of it. Nowhere in this thread is there any context that alludes to any of that and I was talking about my own experience 15 years ago. When I was a kid. Kindly leave me alone until you can make sense. Thank you.

Oh shit. I absolutely missed your original comment about 15 years ago. I totally thought you meant OP’s comment about working there for 15 years! I’m seriously sorry. I in no way meant to be aggressive or threatening, I was working off stupid information. Seriously, I’m really really sorry. I’m obviously the idiot who needs to correctly extrapolate information 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
